To get started with Armstrong Legal, reach out to us about speaking with a contested wills lawyer regarding your situation. During the first consultation, your lawyer will discuss your relationship with the deceased, the terms of the will, the estate and the basis of the dispute. If you wish to contest or challenge a will, we can determine whether you may be eligible to bring a family provision claim and examine issues such as capacity, pressure, fraud or the will's execution. Meanwhile, if defending a will is required, we can guide your response to the claim and defend the estate's position. In certain family provision claims, a "No Win No Fee" agreement may be available after a case-by-case assessment. This means legal fees are payable only if the parties reach an agreement or the Court makes an order, and they are paid out of the estate. In some estate litigation matters, a Pay-at-End arrangement may be available if you are entitled to part of the estate. You can speak with our contested wills lawyers for a case assessment, whether you're browsing for "inheritance dispute lawyers sydney" or "can a will be contested by a sibling". If you have questions about "Grant Of Probate Wa" or "Is A Handwritten Will Valid Act", schedule an appointment today.

Jonathan was great to work with, professional, reliable, and easy to talk to. They explained everything clearly, stayed on top of things, and really made the whole process a lot less stressful. Highly recommend if you need someone who knows what they’re doing.
